Pros + sharp display and viewfinder
+ professional controls and settings
+ good low-light behaviour
+ professional handling
+ cheap workflow by using XDCAM EX on SDCH cards
+ flexible assignable
Cons - default factory settings somewhat conservative
- No XLR audio
- wide angle with slight distortions
- poor low-light
- display and viewfinder have a very low resolution
Conclusion Thanks to a sharp display, many professional controls and good low light characteristics this newcomer is a real improvement in Sony´s HD-portfolio.The only rival is the Canon XH A1, which offers XLR-audio, but lags behind in terms of display and viewfinder.In addition to the professional focus and features of the camera the XDCAM EX format persuades.The trade-off consists of the no longer up-to-date low-light capabilities, the narrow wide angle and the lens distortion.Also the image stabilizer, as well as the display and viewfinder seem a little out-dated..On the plus side of course you have to add the XLR jacks and the ND filter.In the price range of the estimated 2700 Euro though, these are no unique features, unless one does needs XDCAM EX recording or is looking for CCD sensors.
